The law enforcement agencies found some ruling party leaders' direct conversations with the BDR mutineers over mobile phone after examining the mobile phone call lists of the detained BDR jawans on February 25-26 at Peeklkhana.

The law enforcement agencies identified the names which are Home Minister Sahara Khatun, State Minister for Local Government and Rural Development (LGRD) and Cooperatives Jahangir Kabir Nanak, Awami League leader Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir, Dhamnondi-Hazaribag h MP Barrister Fazlee Noor Taposh and Mirza Azam.

The BDR mutineers held talks several times with the local MP Taposh.

The mutineers reportedly held talks with the leaders between 11:00 am to 3:00pm on February 25.

At least 820 BDR personnel and five civilians have been shown arrested to date for their alleged involvement in the mutiny.

Law enforcement agencies investigated the mobile numbers of more than 35 BDR personnel.

At least 10 BDR personnel had talked to the ruling party leaders over mobile phone. And 5 detained BDR personnel confessed to the law enforcement agencies that they held talks to one MP and another former MP about their demands.

Law enforcement agencies found that that DAD Touhid, Jawan Salim, Jawan Mofiz, Havilder Obaidul with other 10 BDR jawans held talks with the AL leaders.

Source said BDR Jawan Salim reportedly talked to MP Taposh at about 11: 00 am on the day of occurrence.

Investigation team found Nanak and Taposh mobile numbers from the Cell phone of Jawan Salim.

From 2:00 pm to 2:30 pm on 25 February DAD Touhid talks with the Home Minister Sahara Khatun. Touhid had also talk with Nanak, Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir and Mirza Azam over cell phone.

DAD Touhid also had talks with the Home Minister and the state minister for LGRD minister 20 to 25 times on 25 February at about 10 pm to 3pm.

Investigation officers of the BDR preferring mutiny anonymity told the New Nation that they found names of the AL leaders and BDR personnel after verification from the mobile phone operators.

But the AL leaders did not talk before the 25 February, he added.

Jawan Salim told the investigation officers that they took the Taposh's Mobile phone number from the detrained Torab Ali.

Earlier on Monday Criminal Investigation Department (CID) questioned Jamaat-e-Islami leader Barrister Abdur Razzak for more than three hours in connection with the February 25-26 massacre at BDR headquarters.

Nesarul Arif, police superintendent of the CID and in charge of the case, said yesterday that more people might be required to be questioned in the interest of the case.

A lot of big guns we may need to quiz as the case unfolds," Nesarul told reporters after grilling Jama'at-e-Islami leader Abdur Razzak at the CID headquarters.

Dear All

The article below reveals the BNP-Jamaat's connection with AIPAC-Mossad' s operatives. The Khaleda government was paying $5000 a month to "The Talented Dr. Richard Benkin" a registered foreign agent & a member of AIPAC spy cell.... Jamaats connection with the people in Langly, Virginia dates back to the beginning of cold war days when  now deceased Maulana Moududi was considered as an asset for CIA ....

The Talented Dr. Richard Benkin

Mash | March 12, 2007, 12:02 am | Bangladesh, Foreign Policy, Politics | 7 comments
[Hat tip to Shafiur via his comment and another hat tip to Salam Dhaka and Shuchinta]
Lutfuzzaman Babar, Former State Minister for Home Affairs, BangladeshIt turns out that Dr. Richard Benkin, the "reporter" who is the source of stories about Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and Mr. Choudhury's supporter, is registered as a foreign lobbyist. However, if I asked you to guess which government he represented, you would probably be way off the mark.
On September 6, 2005 Dr. Richard Benkin registered as a foreign agent with the United States Department of Justice, under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), for the Government of Bangladesh. [Click here to see the registration document.] Given the kind of articles Dr. Benkin writes about Bangladesh, this revelation is rather shocking.
Dr. Benkin was hired to prepare and disseminate informational materials via radio or TV broadcasts, magazines or newspaper articles, letters or telegrams, press releases and the internet. He was hired to disseminate this information to public officials, civic groups or associations, legislators, newspapers and editors. According to the document filed with the US government, Dr. Benkin had already received $5000 from the Government of Bangladesh as payment for his services. He was to receive $5000 per month based on an oral agreement between Dr. Benkin and the Government of Bangladesh. According to the filing:
The Registrant agreed to provide Public Relations services to the Foreign Principal at a cost of $5000.00 per month, to be paid to the Registrant at the beginning of each month for services that month. There is no formal duration, but it is expected to last at least twelve months.

A month after Dr. Benkin filed his paperwork, the respected lobbying firms Ketchum Washington and The Washington Group also registered as foreign agents for the Government of Bangladesh to do public relations. [Click here to see Ketchum's registration and click here to see The Washington Group's registration. ]

There is one significant difference between Dr. Benkin's lobbying and those of Ketchum and The Washington Group. While Ketchum and The Washington Group indicated in their filing that they would deal with the Bangladeshi Embassy in Washington via the ambassador, Shamsher M. Chowdhury, the filing by Dr. Benkin indicated that he would deal with Lutfuzzaman Babar, State Minister for Home Affairs in Bangladesh. The difference is significant.

As an aside, the reader will note that in the first email Rabbi Sue Levy sent me regarding Mr. Choudhury, she accused the Bangladesh Embassy in Washington of trying to discredit Mr. Choudhury.

It does seem unusual that Dr. Benkin would ink his deal with a Bangladeshi state minister involved with domestic law and order, rather than with the official representative of Bangladesh, that is the ambassador and the Embassy. Why the Bangladesh Embassy was sidestepped in a foreign lobbying effort is certainly food for thought. Further Mr. Babar is featured and cited in a large number of Dr. Benkin's "reports" about Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury - yet, Dr. Benkin never mentions that he is a paid consultant working for Mr. Babar. Mr. Babar was also featured in a glowing article dated June 15, 2006 entitled "Babar & His Magic Stick" i nthe Asian Tribune, Dr. Benkin's mouthpiece of choice. The article was written by a certain Christopher Giddings whose prose is decidedly Bangladeshi in tone, rather than one of a native english speaker.

Those familiar with Bangladesh will note that Mr. Babar is a young politician who gained a reputation for ruthlessness by creating the Rapid Action Battalian (RAB) in March 2004, a paramilitary force responsible for countless extra-judicial killings in Bangladesh. Those unfamiliar with RAB under Mr. Babar can get a sense of their modus operandi by reading the publication "Judge, Jury and Executioner" by Human Rights Watch.

The current interim government in Bangladesh is likely tightening the noose on Mr. Babar, now the former state minister, on alleged corruption charges. So far, anti-corruption forces have raided his home, and have arrested his personal secretary and his cousin on corruption charges.

I can see why Mr. Babar might want a personal PR man to defend his brand of human rights abuses - a lot of people have famously died in the "crossfire" as RAB hunted extremists and common criminals alike. However, Mr. Babar might have been running his own little fiefdom without official government sanction. It makes little sense that at the same time the Government of Bangladesh, through legitimate diplomatic channels, was enlisting the likes of Ketchum and The Washington Group, that a state minister in Bangladesh would hire a foreign lobbyist on his own. It also seems odd that he is repeatedly cited by Dr. Benkin in his "reports" that masquerade as news stories without mentioning that Dr. Benkin is on Mr. Babar's payroll. I am sure the anti-corruption authorities in Bangladesh will have a few questions.

There is a lot of reporting to be done here. I leave it to the reader and fellow Bangladeshi bloggers to fill in the blanks to paint the complete picture. Something smells, and it smells bad.

BONUS for Bangladeshi readers: Here is a glowing article about Tareque Rahman by the aforementioned Christopher Giddings in the Asian Tribune. For non-Bangladeshis, Tareque Rahman, the son of the previous prime minister, is known in Bangladesh as "Mr. Ten Percent" and he has just been arrested for massive corruption.

RE: Mystery of Sunita Paul - Analyst's observation

Syed Aslam

Dear All
The below is a short but intensely interesting revelation about Sunita Paul's anti-Bangladesh activities ......

 
I personally think that Sunita Paul/Ms. Susan Ramgopalam are ficticious charecters with Salah Uddin Shoaib Chowdhury  & Dr. Richard L. Benkin´
behind the scene.

 
Richard Benkin
American Jewish activist Richard Benkin.

Dr. Richard L. Benkin (a leading advocate for Shoaib Chowdhuri's cause !) was hired by Khelada government for lobbying in the U.S to put in a good word for the BNP/Jammat government in early 2006. They signed a deal with him to pay
him $5000 a month.

Mystery of Sunita Paul - An analyst's observation
 
 By KS

 
I am not good in computer and therefore, I asked a student to find Sunita Paul's write-ups in various journals/dailies that have been mentioned in her introduction given below.  She tried a few like Sunday Ledger, African Times, Asian Tribune, Asiaweek, New York Sun, New Yorker, Bangkok Post, Washington Times, Asia Today, etc, and surprisingly she did not find her write-ups in these dailies.  Secondly, she estimated that since late December 2008 till March 29, the said Sunita Paul published 25 articles. Among them 12 are on BDR/Army/Militancy and 6 on Salah Uddin Shoaib Chowdhury and rest 7 on AL, Sajib, etc. Out of her 35 write-ups for the last one year, 23 on BDR/Military/ Militancy and 14 on Shoaib Chowdhury.
 
Third, if you read http://Boycottbangl adesh.org/ 2009/03 of Salah Uddin Shoaib Choudhury and that of Sunita Paul's write-ups, for example, titled "Our Hero Salah Uddin Shoaib Chowdhury Attacked Again: How Long We can Remain Silent" (Feb 23, 2009), there is similarity in language and sentence structure.  
 
Sunita Paul being an Indian born unfortunately never writes either on Indian or South Asian issues. She only writes on Bangladesh and on topics that are current with either Channel I's discussion forum in Bengali- Tritiyo Matra http://my.opera. com/channelitv/ albums/showpic. dml?album= 201498&picture=3022048, ATN's Bengali program Sanglap or so.  The day Maj. Gen. (Retd) Moyeen Chowdury Bir Bikram mentioned the likely impact of Lt. Col (Retd) Faruk Khan's statement that JMB might be involved with the BDR Massacre, the following day, the said blog published that one Ms. Susan Ramgopalam had sent a letter to the UN Secretary General asking him to stop use of Bangladesh Military forces with the UN Peace Keeping Missions. Who knows, maybe 'great man think alike' across the globe!!! Maybe she was watching Tritiyo-Matra. 
 
Thanks,

Dear Mr. Najmul Karim;
 
Thank you for your email. No, we are not objecting someone to write or express his/her opinion. Only question is 'credibility' ?  It appears Salahuddin Shoaib Chowdhury (SSC) is writing under pseudonym (Sunita Paul) and most of the writings are 'negative' or basically character assassination.  Question is why?
 
We tell our students that in these days of media, data and information revolution, it is essentail to critically examine the information, cross check them and evaluate their credibility prior to making use of them for judgement/decision.  During December (2008)through March, 2009, Sunita Paul has written 25 articles and out of them 12 are on BDR/Military/ Militancy and 6 are on SSC and all on Bangladesh, and Bangladesh only.  We are thankful to her as she took especial interest on Bangladesh. However, she did not publish a single write-up on any other South Asian country or even on her own country i.e. India. Does it sounds something unusual or somebody is on a especial mission? 
 
An investigative journalist has sent the following few examples of Sunita Paul Vs. SSC's write-ups. You may like to look at it.

[chottala.com] Qaumi Islami University: Yet another scam [Probe Report]

Qaumi Islami University

Yet another scam

 

Using the names of front-line alems of the country, the dubious Abdul Hai is making money in the name of setting up the Qaumi Islami University

 

by ANWAR PARVEZ HALIM

 

Allama Ahmed Shafi, Maulana Mohiuddin Khan, Mufti Abdur Rahman, Mohammed Sultan Zauq Nadvi, Abdul Halim Bokhari, Moulana Abdul Basit, Saikhul Hadith Allama Azizul Huq, Maulana Abdul Jabbar, Maulana Anwar Shah and Maulana Mahmudul Hasan are respected Islamic scholars of the country, renowned alems of the Qaumi education system. However, with total disregard to their positions of respect in society, their names are being used in a new scam -- the Qaumi Islami University (QIU). PROBE's investigations reveal that in reality this university does not even exist. Yet it has a website naming these scholars and using their pictures. The names and photographs of certain former bureaucrats and industrialists have also been used. The website of this fictitious university offers a host of other attractive packages to unsuspecting browsers.

Investigations reveal that this university is not registered with the Ministry of Education or with any other government office. During the caretaker government of Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed, a proposal had been submitted in this name, but was not given approval. Despite not gaining approval, the university from back then has been collecting funds form various quarters, duping them with all sorts of false information.

The master of this fraudulent scheme is MM Abdul Hai. He is the "Chairman" and "Founder" of various non-existent organisations. He has opened office in Motijheel to carry out his dubious schemes and scams.

 

Digital deception

 

The Qaumi University website posts two account numbers for persons to make their deposits. MM Abdul Hai has never studied under the Qaumi system, yet he has opened up this faux Qaumi University. His main aim is to attract the attention of various foundations and institutions and to cheat unsuspecting charitable persons at home and abroad into donating funds through this website -- blatant digital deception!

Several of the qaumi scholars named on his website tell PROBE that this MM Hai is an out-and-out con man. He can easily fool people. These alems say he is a fraud and a swindler. They say he has used their names and photographs on his website without their permission. They have protested but he has not removed their names and pictures from the website.

 www.qaumiislamiuniversity.com

The website has an impressive array of faculties -- Faculty of Religious Science, Faculty of Human Science and Faculty of Natural Science under which they are to open the departments of Telecommunications, Arabic, English, Bengali, Law, Commerce, Economics, etc.

After the name 'Qaumi Islami University' there is the letter 'P' in brackets. This is a sort of safeguard, subtly implying that it is 'proposed'.

The address of the university is Khan Mansion (6th Floor),107 Motijheel, Dhaka. And the two bank account numbers given on the website are Agrani Bank, Rampura Branch (BTV), A/C No. 33025495; and Al Arafah Bank, Dilkusha Branch, A/C No. 042122000418.

Qaumi Islami University's Vice Chancellor, according to the website, is former Secretary AZM Shamsul Alam, former Director General of the Islamic Foundation. The university's Chief Advisor is Ahmad Shafi DG of Hathazari's Al Jamia Al Ahliya Darul Uloom Madrassa. The Chairman is Mufti Abdur Rahman, DG of the Islamic Research Centre (Dhaka); Senior Vice Chairman Sultan Zauq Nadvi, DG of Chittagong's Jamia Daul Ma'Arif Madrassa; and Vice Chairmen Abdul Halim Bokhari, Rector of Patiya Madrassa and Abdul Basit Barkatpuri, Secretary General of Sylhet's Azad Deene Adaray Ta'Alim. The Senior Advisors are named as Saikhul Hadith Allama Azizul Haq, Maulana Mohiuddin Khan, Maulana Abdul Jabbar, Anwar Shah and Maulana Mahmudul Hasan.

The Directors, as given on the website, are Al Haj MA Hannan; Sayeed Khokan, son of former Mayor Hanif and former IGP Md. Hadisuddin. The Convener is industrialist Anwar Hossain, Chairman of A. Hossain Group and former Chairman of Al Arafah Bank. Allama Fariduddin Masud, former Director of Islamic Foundation, is the Governor. He had been arrested during the caretaker government's term. Other Governors include Md. Shamsu Miah, Md. Ashik Hossain and F Helaly. Founder and Rector of the university is the controversial MM Abdul Hai.

 

Who is Abdul Hai?

 

In the profile of Abdul Hai in the website of QIU, it is stated that he is the founder of the Qaumi Education Society and National Shariah Advisory Majlis; the Secretary General, Takaful Bahumukhi Farm (Pvt) Ltd; Chairman, Darul Qur'an Madrassa; founder Islami Insurance; and Editor of the monthly Takaful Barta. Investigations reveal, all these institutions exist in name only. He has no job or occupation at present. He has taken 300 thousand taka from Al Arafa Bank in the name of QIU and has already spent most of this amount.

The Central Shariah Board for Islami Banks of Bangladesh acts in the interests of the Shariah-based Islamic banks of the country. Sidestepping this institution, MM Hai took initiative to form the National Shariah Council and approached Al Arafah Bank for funds in this regard. Shamsul Alam was Chairman of the bank at the time. Samad Sheikh, present MD of the bank, tells PROBE, "The bank's board finally decided not to pay Abdul Hai the funds." He says, "While inaugurating Al Arafah's branch in Ambarkhana, Sylhet, I heard that he had taken money from many people, promising them jobs there. He is a cunning man. His activities have been tarnishing the good name of the alems. He is a despicable man."

AZM Shamsul Alam, VC of QIU, says,"Abdul Hai has a way of convincing people. He came to me quite a few months ago, saying he wanted me as the Vice Chancellor. I hear he uses my name in that post. As far as I know, MM Abdul Hai is not an authority in qaumi education, not is he a renowned alem. He didn't even study under the qaumi system. He doesn't even have any high degree. He has neither the qualification nor the funds to set up a university. He says many industrialists will be assisting him in this regard. Actually, he is a very dishonest man. QIU doesn't even exists, yet he shows me vouchers of 20 lac taka expenditure, saying 16 lac taka of his and 4 lac taka of mine has been spent. I was shocked. I told him I would not be a part of all this."

"I hear he still uses my name on the website," says AZM Shamsul Alam. I have protested, but he doesn't pay heed. It is impossible to set up a university with such a person."

In the meantime, QIU Convener industrialist Anwar Hossain tells this correspondent, "My home is in Sharankhola. When I went there after cyclone Sidr to distribute relief, I met Abdul Hai. When I was Chairman of Al Arafa Bank, he approached me for a large loan, but I refused. He is a shady character.    He said he was going to set up a university. I hear he is using my name without my permission. I am not involved in this in any way."

Maulana Mohiuddin Khan says, "Abdul Hai is from Netrakona. He would work in an insurance company at one point of time. He comes up with all sorts of projects from time to time and filches money from people."

When the PROBE correspondent contacts MM Hai over telephone, he says he is extremely busy. He says he cannot give an interview in person as he will be out of town for a week or so. He says that he had submitted a proposal for QIU during the caretaker government's rule. At the time the government had passed amended rules for private universities in the form of an ordinance, though it had not been approved by the President. The present government is going to amend these rules again and then pass these in the form of a law. So, he says, he will once again submit his proposal for QIU to the government."

"I discussed the matter of setting up QIU with renowned alems of the country," says Abdul Hai. I am proceeding in this regard with their approval."

About making Sayeed Khokan Director of QIU, he says, "I am acquainted with him but I haven't discussed this matter with him as yet. I shall have a meeting with him shortly." Yet he uses Sayeed Khokan's name on the website without consulting him.

Abdul Hai says, "All sorts of obstacles are met when setting up any institution. No matter how many years it takes, I will establish QIU."

He says that seven acres of land has been purchased at Gazipur for the university. Asked how he has this website and all details without even having the university, he says, "I expect to get the approval soon. Also, if we want, we can start studies on Dawah/Shariah even now. We are prepared." He says the website has been launched to keep people informed.

 

What the alems say

 

Mufti Abdur Rahman, who is Chairman of QIU according to the website, tells PROBE, "About three or four months ago Abdul Hai came and told me about this university and proposed me to be the Chairman. I did not respond. He told me that he had close ties with the US Embassy. He said he was close to many industrialists. He said if such a university could be set up, the students wouldn't have to take any certificate from the board. He had a lot of things to say, but I had no idea that he went ahead and named me as Chairman. It does not look like he has any good intentions. He shouldn't have used my name without my knowledge. I would like to launch my protest against this through PROBE."

Allama Abdul Halim Bokhari, DG of Patiya Madrassa, tells PROBE that he hasn't known Abdul Hai for long. "I know nothing about his educational qualification or anything," he says, "He came to me and asked for my cooperation to setting up QIU. That is all. I had no idea he made me Vice Chairman. He invited me to a meeting in Dhaka in February, but I did not go. He must be a very cunning man."

Why does Bokhari not protest? Says Bokhari, "I know nothing about him or how powerful he is. I don't want to get into any trouble by protesting."

Maulana Mohiuddin Khan, Editor of the Monthly Madina, says, "I know this man, he would work with insurance at one time. But I never discussed about setting up any university with him. He never approached me on this head and I didn't even know he had included me in it. Those who have no profession of their own are the ones who get up to such underhand activities. I really don't have the time to look into what these people are up to. But it is very wrong to use anyone's name without their permission."

Allama Mohammed Sultan Zauq Nadvi, founder and DG of Jamia Darul Ma'Arif, says that the country had hundreds of thousands of Qaumi madrassa students. Their certificates are not given due recognition. Passing out from the Qaumi madrassas, the alems are managing to enter into the mainstream employment market by competing with the others. There face problems when it comes to higher education too. We even launched a movement in this regard during the caretaker government. The government even accepted these demands. Taking all this into consideration, we felt the need to establish a university. We held talks in this regard and Abdul Hai took initiative. He took my permission in making me Vice Chairman. But I have no idea of what happened after that. I do not know from where he is getting funds for QIU."

Another alem, on condition of anonymity, says. "There are all sorts of conspiracies in the country regarding Qaumi madrassas. A section of the media is highlighting these madrassas as terrorist training camps. The government has asked for a list of Qaumi madrassas to be drawn up, though I don't know why. At this juncture, the activities of controversial people like Abdul Hai can create further problems for the Qaumi madrassas. There certainly is need for a Qaumi university in the country, but what qualification does a phony person like Abdul Hai have to set up such an institution?"

NKorea rocket fizzles, US says; Obama urges action

SEOUL, South Korea – The U.S. and its allies sought punishment Sunday for North Korea's defiant launch of a rocket that apparently fizzled into the Pacific, holding an emergency U.N. meeting in response to fears the country was testing long-range missile technology.

President Barack Obama called for a global response and condemned North Korea for threatening the peace and stability of nations "near and far." Minutes after liftoff, Japan requested the emergency Security Council session in New York.

U.S. and South Korean officials claim the entire rocket, including whatever payload it carried, ended up in the ocean but many world leaders fear the launch indicates the capacity to fire a long-range missile. Pyongyang claims it launched an experimental communications satellite into orbit Sunday and that it's transmitting data and patriotic songs.

"North Korea broke the rules, once again, by testing a rocket that could be used for long-range missiles," Obama said in Prague. "It creates instability in their region, around the world. This provocation underscores the need for action, not just this afternoon in the U.N. Security Council, but in our determination to prevent the spread of these weapons."

While the rogue communist state has repeatedly been belligerent and threatening — as it was when it carried out an underground nuclear blast and tested ballistic missiles in recent years — Pyongyang showed increased savvy this time that may make severe punishment more complicated than ever.

Unlike its previous provocations, the North notified the international community that the launch was coming and the route the rocket would take — although critics of North Korea leader Kim Jong Il claim he really was testing a ballistic missile capable of hitting U.S. territory.

Using a possible loophole in sanctions imposed after the 2006 nuclear test that barred the North from ballistic missile activity, the government claimed it was exercising its right to peaceful space development.

The U.S. said nuclear-armed North Korea clearly violated the resolution, but objections from Russia and China — the North's closest ally — will almost certainly water down any strong response. Both have Security Council veto power.

"We feel very strongly that what occurred today was a violation of that resolution," Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., told ABC's "This Week" on Sunday. "So we will go back and work ... to both toughen existing regimes, but to add to that resolution."

Analysts say sanctions imposed after the North's underground nuclear test in 2006 appear to have had little effect because implementation was left up to individual countries, some of which showed no will to impose them.

Kim is reportedly a big film buff, and his strategy appears to have borrowed heavily from the 1959 movie "The Mouse That Roared," about a fictional poor country that declares war on the U.S., expecting to lose and get aid like the Marshall Plan that Washington used to help rebuild its World War II foes.

In a statement released just hours after the launch, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Andrei Nesterenko said North Korea had informed Moscow ahead of time, and Russian radars tracked it.

Russia urges "all states concerned to show restraint in judgments and action," Nesterenko said.

Despite its policy of "juche," or "self-reliance," communist North Korea is one of the world's poorest countries, has few allies and is in desperate need of outside help. The money that flowed in unconditionally from neighboring South Korea for a decade dried up when conservative President Lee Myung-bak took office in 2008.

Pyongyang has little collateral, and for years has used its nuclear weapons program as its trump card, promising to abandon its atomic ambitions in exchange for aid and then dangling the nuclear threat when it doesn't get its way.

It's been an effective strategy so far, with previous missile launches drawing Washington to negotiations. The North also has reportedly been selling missile parts and technology to whoever has the cash to pay for it.

Kim wants food for his famished people, fuel and — perhaps most importantly — direct talks and relations with Washington.

Right now, the main contact is through six-nation talks aimed at getting Pyongyang to give up its worrisome nuclear weapons program. But that means dealing with two neighbors that the North despises most, Japan and South Korea.

It probably isn't a coincidence that the rocket was fired over Japan. North Korea had warned that debris might fall off Japan's northern coast when the rocket's first stage fell away, so Tokyo positioned batteries of interceptor missiles on its coast and radar-equipped ships off its northern seas to monitor the launch. Nary a shot was necessary.

Obama warned the launch would further isolate the reclusive nation. But pragmatism calls for engagement, especially with efforts to get North Korea back to the negotiating table for the six-party talks.

"We must deal with North Korea as we find it, not as we would like it to be," Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. envoy on North Korea, said Friday. "I've long since suppressed my tendency toward frustration. What is required is patience and perseverance."

Kim Keun-sik, a North Korea expert at South Korea's Kyungnam University, said the launch would chill ties between Pyongyang and Washington, but likely not for long.

"Wouldn't they eventually come to hold talks? There is no other way," Kim said.

U.S. officials also are trying to obtain the release of two American journalists recently detained by the North along its border with China. Paik Hak-soon, an analyst at the Sejong Institute think tank, predicted they would be used as bargaining chips, with the North likely "to try to link them to the nuclear and missile talks."

Iran, which also has a contentious relationship with the international community over its nuclear program and is believed to have cooperated extensively with North Korea on missile technology, defended the launch.

"North Korea, like any other country, has the right to enter space," Iran's state TV said in a commentary, adding that the "pressure on North Korea to give up its undisputable right" was "unfair and dishonest."

[chottala.com] FW: Russia suggests setting up 1,000 MW nuclear power plant in Bangladesh, by Syed Aslam.


Bangladesh must acquire the nuclear power plant in order to cope up with the power crises situation there. Natural gas i likely to deplete completely in the next one or two decade (s). Bangladesh has no means to regularly import oil or other fuel to generate electricity to meet the demand of the country. Coal in Bangladesh is inadequate and of low grade to meet the huge demand of the furnaces of the power stations. Green energy sounds soothing and heavenly but by the feasibility and the possibility of meeting the energy demand is very little and nothing but the drops in the bucket. So, the only practical way to meet the energy demand for the nation is to manage a fund now  and to take a severe initiative to install neuclear power stations in the country such that the next few decades or centuries are covered for the energy demand. However, the risks are enormous, if the nuclear power plants are not of very high quality and highly protected as far as the productivivity, operations, safety, and security. Please read the following exerpt to get an incite about the pors and cons of the nuclear power.  One of my earnest recommendation (as a power and an energy engineer) is that Bangladesh must not acquire and install any Russian ( or Russian allied countries) made nuclear reactors because they produce very low quality products in this field. Most Russian reactors have the highest possibility of occuring accidents because of poor quality despite any human errors.


 

We accept that nuclear power offers zero polluting emissions. However, it is only true when mistakes are not made in controlling the processes at all stages from mining to eventual disposal of the waste and decommissioning. Unfortunately, history indicates that such accidents are not only possible but are very evident and almost certain to happen. Added to this we now have all kinds of terrorists who will take advantage of any opportunity to sabotage and bring chaos and destruction to anything that is very vital to the country they feel deserves their wrath. The resulting consequences are so painstaking that it is to be hoped that nuclear power will not be developed as a major player in the provision of clean energy for the foreseeable future. There are going to be exceptions of course (maybe the under- developed nations, the one like Bangladesh, who feel they have little alternatives, because the natural gas will not be available after two decades and coal is not promising, and no other significant energy sources are available to meet the energy demand of the nation). So, there is no doubt that nuclear power and its legacy will still have to be around for countless generations to come.

 

In 2007 Tony Blair urged the whole world, to develop nuclear power as an answer to global warming and resolve the energy crises. Instead he could have promoted the numerous, developed and developing, green technologies and divert some of the enormous nuclear budget to support their expansion, as in USA and in many countries are going forward. However, the reality lies with Tony Blair. All green technologies are yet to develop in order to be able to get real services from them but the nuclear power technology is quite ripe and almost in its peak performance status. All green technology combined together amounts to nothing but a drop in the bucket as far as the need for the amount of energy need for the globe.  Fortunately, in 2008 Blair's successor, Gordon Brown, is following in his footsteps. This is happening because of the main reason that the enormous amount of energy that each nation needs at this present era that can not be met by any other sources except the one having enormous ability to generate energy provided can be run safely. 

 

Nuclear Reactors have the potential to provide almost unlimited amounts of energy with much lower carbon emissions than with fossil fuels. However, there are extreme dangers associated with attritional pollution from discharges, operational accidents and long-term cleanup after decommissioning. As a result, many nations have rejected expansion of nuclear methods for national energy generation. Developing countries are more likely to expand their nuclear power capacity, for example China may follow this route and Ukraine will probably commission new plants. Otherwise there are strong arguments that nuclear power generation should decline, especially where the industries are privatized.

At the end of 2000 there were more than 120 nuclear power plants in Europe, the first appearing about 50 years previously. Although the dangers are recognized, the existing nuclear power plants, around the world, are valued because if they were closed down large populaces would be without electricity or at best would have to pay more for it. There are dangers in all aspects of using nuclear materials from the stage at which they are mined, refined and transported, through to their use in the power stations, storage for future use, and eventually in reprocessing and disposal. It does seem that human errors, incompetence or disregard for safety are the main causes of the most dangerous consequences. But these shortcomings are sometimes accepted in the challenging situations.

 

Besides accidents, the waste and decommissioning are also very dangerous. The most visible and recognized dangers are associated with mining and power generation. There are parallels with the mining of other ores and fuels, locally and abroad. These have often left a deadly legacy of toxic waste, ground subsidence and unsightly landscape, but radioactive ores carry even greater, longer lasting and more pernicious threats. There are two ways of handling the used material: reprocessing and containment. However, reprocessing produces local but serious radioactive discharges, so countries which aim to reprocess, such as the UK, must still face the problems of how to cope with the discharges and how to 'bury' the ultimate products. It seems that for many nations the strategy for this final disposal is still in the planning stage. Reprocessed, low-activity waste is a potential hazard for decades; high activity waste can remain hazardous for hundreds of thousands of years.

 

Fears of terrorist threats:  German government security survey had found that eight of the country's oldest power stations would melt down if even a small jet crashed into them. Even the seven newer pressurized water reactor plants whose cores are surrounded by concrete shields could not withstand a direct impact from a commercial passenger plane. Authorities have beefed up security and the environment ministry is considering special equipment which would throw up a wall of artificial fog around the country's 18 nuclear power stations if they were to be threatened by a hijacked plane.  The fog machine idea appears to be a helpless initiative.

 

HISTORY OF NUCLEAR ACCIDENTS:

 

(1)   Windscale Accident:  This appears to be the world's first big nuclear accident occurred more than fifty years ago, happened on October 10, 1957, in Sellafield site in England at West Cumbria on the coast of Irish Sea. The safety breaches, lowered safety standards, safety irregularities, falsification of data of the BNFL operation, were the reasons for the accident. Also, Germany, Switzerland and Japan were receiving plutonium products from BNFL. Ireland felt that the discharges of BNFL into the North Irish Sea were causing dangerous marine pollution in that territory. Britain had developed nuclear weapons in 1952, but in the mid 1950s the USA and the USSR had developed much more powerful thermo-nuclear devices (hydrogen bombs). British government started working desperately to improve their technology. Reactors use uranium and produce plutonium and can produce tritium (the radioactive isotope of hydrogen). Tritium was needed to produce thermo-nuclear reactors. Sir William Penney, the chief scientist in charge of research in nuclear developments in UK, modified the fuel cartridges using lithium magnesium to increase the yield of tritium. It seems quite likely that this modification was largely responsible for the Windscale. The reactor fuel together with the graphite moderator was on fire. The exhaust flowing up the chimney contained radioactive materials which obviously posed a threat to the surrounding countryside and its inhabitants. The Cockcroft's Folly filters in the chimney caught some of the radioactive contents. The fallout covered enormous areas of the country, spreading as far as SE England. Water was tried to quench the fire but it did not work. In fact turning off the fans and removing the airflow was immediately successful. During this episode inhabitants were told to take cover; children were especially at risk and milk in surrounding areas was destroyed to avoid ingestion. Theoretical estimates ranged from 0 to nearly 300 of fatal and non-fatal cancers. However, these figures were not right. A canister of polonium 210 was burned in the fire. This caused the figure to rise. This accident was a severe embarrassment for UK.

 

(2)   Three Mile Island Accident: The most serious commercial nuclear accident in the United States occurred in March 1979 at the station on Three Mile Island. During routine maintenance, water supplied to the generators was interrupted causing a safety system to operate. The operators mistakenly stopped the automatic system with devastating consequences. A significant part of the nuclear fuel melted and flowed into the lower parts of the core and reactor vessel. Such a possibility was known to be a very dangerous event and has been associated with the name "The China Syndrome". Large amounts of radioactive gases were released but fortunately, eventually emergency measures succeeded in taking control and cooling the core. The damage was severe but no injuries due to radiation are recorded. Following this accident a ten year cleanup plan was implemented and extensive records were generated. This experience has influenced to look at the nuclear power generation to be most dangerous and so became unpopular in USA for the following 3 decades. This unpopularity did not just remain in the US but swept internationally.

 

(3)    Chernobyl Accident: On April 26, 1986 an enormous nuclear explosion took place in Ukraine, USSR. When operators were testing one of the reactors at full capacity, switched off the safety system. Control was lost, steam pressure built up, the explosion occurred and large amounts of radioactive elements were discharged into the atmosphere. 190 tons of highly radioactive Uranium and Graphite did spread all over. There was no immediate admission of the crisis by the Gorbachev administration and it was only acknowledged a few days later as a result of Swedish reports on increased radiation levels. Many years later the widespread consequences were detected that include poisoning of large areas of water and land in Ukraine and Belarus and significant contamination in Poland, Sweden and Norway. The spread of pollution was not limited to the atmosphere but was also spread via underground water to threaten nearby Kiev. Many parts of Europe were affected and we know that parts of the UK registered fallout. We have seen it reported that possible radiation linked illnesses are statistically associated with the disaster worldwide. The widespread nature of the contamination and the difficulties in identifying with certainty that illnesses were caused by the Chernobyl fallout mean that the statistics cannot be accurate, but from our reading it seems that the number of casualties, in one way or another, must be several millions with maybe a third of these being children. Close to the site, thousands of workers died during the cleanup operation and tens of thousands were crippled. The rest of the plant at Chernobyl continued to operate for more than 14 years. The damaged reactor is still posing a threat and may well cause a further catastrophe if it collapses, as is likely. What devastation will follow such a collapse will depend on the wind but
the population of
Belarus was the greatest loser in the aftermath. The fallout from the disaster has directly affected over nine million people in Belarus, Ukraine and western Russia; Belarus received 70% of the fallout. The radioactive exposure was 90 times greater than that released by the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. The UN declared it the worst environmental catastrophe in history. In Belarus, thyroid cancer rates increased by 2,400% in the ensuing 15 years, a figure expected to continue to rise. There have been a 1,000% increase in suicides in the contaminated zones and a 250% increase in congenital birth deformities. About 99% of the land was contaminated and 90% of the children suffer from the after-effects of nuclear radiation. Apart from these horrific health problems Belarus is financially crippled. It has cost Belarus 25% of its annual national budget and it is estimated that by 2015 the fallout from the accident will have cost it $235 billion. Ironically, because of international law, Belarus received no compensation from Russia or Ukraine and is dependent on humanitarian aid, which is totally inadequate.

Dear All
 
Here is  a very funny statement by Mr. Salah U. Ayubi:
"...... even the undergrad studentw ogf 
physics know all that there is to know about nuclear
power," It is Mr. Ayubi who is giving all the BS ... a proof
of how dengerous a little learning is !!!!!
 
Mr. Ayubi may think that Nuclear Engineering is  a "fairy
tale" taught in undergraduate physics class. ..
 
Mr. Ayubi should tell us the name of an eminent engineer
or scientist who has any publication in a reputed professional
Nuclear Engineering journal [with proper
references] ....
 
As per Mr. Ayubi
"Netris husband is nuclear scientist  of repute...."  has this
Gentleman [Dr. Wajed Ali Miah] done  any professional work in
the field of Nuclear Power Plant engineering or even nuclear
fission/chain reaction ? [give citation] ????/
 
Over and over Mr. Ayubi is proving how shallow his depth of
understanding of the real world is !
 
He is the real paper tiger .... and  the real Bhua engineer ....
 
Thanks for your patience, Mr. Salah U. Ayubi !!!!
 
Syed Aslam
 
PS: There is no scarmongering in my post, Mr. Ayubi's
       comment is false and misleading ....

Subject: [odhora] Nuclear Power Plant option for Bangladesh !

Dear All
 
Perhaps Mr. Salauddin Ayubi has a very little knowledge about what a
Nuclear Power Plant [popularly known as Nuclear Power Reactor] is!!!
 
Dr. Wajed Ali Miah holds a in PhD from Germany in Nuclear Physics which deals with
nuclear reactions ...
 
Nuclear Physics (mainly Neutronics & Shielding ) is only a part of Nuclear Power Plant
Technology. As such a multi-disciplinary approach for in-depth feasibility study on
Nuclear Power Plant options & decision making is needed.
 
Mr. Salah Uddin Ayubi can say "Unsolicited advise in this respect is not
appreciated. ..."  on his own belalf only ......
 
However, my comments are views of a concerned citizen and should be
viewed as such ....
 
Nuclear physics has assortment of industrial application and each application field
spreads into different regions of science and technology viz radiation therapy,
medical dignostics, geophysical measurement, industrial process control, security,
power generation etc. However, a person trained in nuclear physics is not
necessarily an expert in those application fields.
 
Thanks

Salauddin Ayubi probably doesn't have adequate knowledge in respect of nuclear energy. Otherwise, how can he build up such a stupid comment on such a wonderful statement offered by Syed Aslam to the forum that has imparted valuable knowledge on the subject. Does Ayubi know that a doctor asks another doctor to do a physical check on the requesting doctor when he is sick.

Subject: Russia suggests setting up 1,000 MW nuclear power plant in Bangladesh

Rosatom/Atomenergop rom  reactors are inherently unsafe and
not suitable for thickly-populated country like Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Government should set up a multi-disciplinary body
for in-depth feasibility study on Nuclear Power Plant option in
Bangladesh [launching cost, fuel supply, operational safety, 
waste disposal, nonproliferation issues etc]. Any foreign nuclear
power reactor vendor should take back spent fuel from the facility
to their own waste repository in their own country.
 
Any construction contract and potential delays resulting from
contractual disputes between the vendor country and Bangladesh
must be thorowly scrutinized prior to the selection of the vendor
and execution of any contract.
